I have a mandolin
I play it all night long
It makes me want to kill myself
I also have a dobro
made in some mountain range
sounds like a mountain
range in love
but when I turn up the tone
on my electric guitar
Im afraid of the dark
without you close to me
Im afraid of the dark
without you close to me
I went out to the
forest and caught
100,000 fireflies
As they ricochet
round the room
they remind me
of your starry eyes
Someone elses might
not have made me so sad
but this is the worst night
I ever had
cause Im afraid of the dark
without you close to me
Im afraid of the dark
without you close to me
<interlude>
You wont be happy with me
but give me one more chance
you wont be happy anyway
Why do we still live here
in this repulsive town
All our friends are in New York
Why do we keep shrieking
when we mean soft things
We should be whispering
all the time
